I am new to the elite sect of Mustang "owners" club.

Anyways, it seems to me that these are some odd gears to be putting in a sports car. I was always told that the lower the number, the faster you end up going (good for MPH). The higher the number, the quicker you will get there (good for E.T.s). I am a stoplight-warrior and soon to be a 1/4mi contender (when the car gets modded). I would rather run a 12.5 at 101mph than a 13.0 at 110mph. Am I understanding gears correctly?
